The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 163 161. This is the plug-in written by Bomi, right?

   "Hey? What? Three Kingdoms online also has a plug-in?"

  When he heard the news, Huang Hongbo, the owner of the Huayi company next door, was shocked.

  I was caught in a plug-in storm recently, and the reputation of the Stone Age declined, which made Huang Hongbo feel a little uncomfortable, but when he heard that Bomi had fallen into the same situation as them, Huang Hongbo's heart suddenly felt a lot easier.

  This is a very typical mentality of not worrying about widowhood and suffering from unevenness. As long as others are not better than me, I am ok.

"Yes, Mr. Huang." said the manager of the operations department. "We only learned about this news today. It is said that there was a lot of trouble, and many players were scolding on the forum. By duplicating the players’ equipment, the number of the original top-quality equipment immediately increased, but now I don’t know what it has developed into."

"real?"

  Huang Hongbo's eyes lit up.

   "How did Nabomi deal with it?"

  "This...we are still on the sidelines, it seems that there is no news yet." When the operation manager reported the incident, it was less than 10 in the morning, and Bomi's announcement about the Three Kingdoms online had not yet been released.

   "It's very troublesome." Huang Hongbo said from the experience of people who came by, he licked his lips, and then sat back in the chair calmly.

   is quite troublesome.

  For Huayi itself, they are only agents in China and have no R&D capabilities. When a plug-in appeared in December last year, it was almost crazy.

  The plug-in was relatively mild at first. It is an auto-assisted plug-in, which can help players find monsters automatically. When killing monsters, increase blood and release skills according to the settings...

  Players only need to hang up.

  The gameplay of the Stone Age itself is relatively simple and boring in the later period. The biggest experience is to continuously upgrade to fight monsters to gain experience and raise babies.

  The experience value in the later period is simply exaggerated. Players repeating the daily labor is a burden in itself, so when this kind of automatic assistance plug-in came out, it did not arouse Huayi's vigilance.

  According to Huang Hongbo’s idea, if there is an auxiliary plug-in that helps players reduce repetitive manual labor, this should be considered a good thing, right?

  It’s just that the most troublesome problem caused is -

  This kind of plug-in script has cultivated a bunch of gold-making studios.

  There may be only 3 to 5 people in the gold making studio, and then buy dozens of machines and open hundreds of accounts to hang up at the same time.

  Because of the existence of plug-ins, Dajin Studio only needs to look at it, and these accounts automatically kill monsters, which can be faster than players manually grabbing...

  Over time, because of output overflow, inflation soon occurred.

  This principle is actually well understood. Originally relying on people to play manually, you may get 8 babies a day, but now relying on automation, after the gold studio intervenes, the daily output of games has become 80 babies.

  Then the baby’s price will naturally come down.

  If the goods are worthless, inflation naturally occurs.

  Furthermore, in the era of manual combat, it took 20 hours for players to manually upgrade. Now because of the automatic plug-in, you can hang up when you sleep at night, and the upgrade speed naturally increases.

  So the auxiliary plug-in brings two disadvantages to the game:

  First, inflation. This thing is unavoidable in games with free trade.

  Secondly, it quickly consumes the life of the game.

  This is also easy to understand. In 2001, for you in the Stone Age, the life of the game was maintained by two things.

  The first type is level. The original upper limit of level is 80. After the player reaches level 80, they will naturally lose the motivation to pursue. When the player lacks a sense of purpose, it is easy to lose.

  The second one is combat power, which was mainly pets in the Stone Age.

  Because of the existence of plug-ins, these two things can be quickly obtained by players, so the life of the game is naturally shortened.

  Originally planned, this game can run for 10 years, then the numerical system of the game is designed according to the 10-year life cycle, and now it only takes 2 years to fill you up, then the life of the game is greatly shortened.

  But it is also very difficult to ban plug-ins.

  In other words, the Stone Age has missed the best time to ban plug-ins.

  At the beginning, in December, this auxiliary plug-in appeared. Since it had no effect on the company's financial report, but because the plug-in also introduced many players and gold studios, the income of the Stone Age actually increased.

  So the boss Huang Hongbo didn't care, and even regarded the plug-in as a good auxiliary product, allowing it to exist with one eye open and one eye closed.

  This is also very easy to understand. Dajin Studio came in, and a few people directly managed hundreds of accounts. Then players who didn't like repetitive work can now play this game because of the existence of plug-ins.

  And the plug-in is not stopped 24 hours a day, which is actually a very good thing for the game that charges by card.

Originally, players may only spend 8 hours a day on the game, but now they can spend 24 hours on it. The consumption of card points has suddenly increased by three times, so naturally, the corresponding Huayi’s income has also increased a lot. .

In fact, it is more difficult to crack down on plug-ins. On the one hand, Huayi Company is an agent and lacks research and development capabilities. To fix the program, you must ask the programmers from the island country to come and help, not to mention that it can respond quickly to crack down on the plug-ins. NS.

  On the other hand, the Internet is an emerging industry, the corresponding regulatory system is not yet mature, and there are no good regulatory methods and channels.

  You report to the police station. People want to arrest people but don’t know where to arrest them.

  Internet crime is quite easy at this time, it has several characteristics:

  Remote control feature, you don’t know where the person doing the plug-in is.

  Hiddenity, because the Internet is a virtual process, sellers selling plug-ins on it may only see one name, and it is more troublesome to track down.

  So under normal circumstances, unless you can directly get the address of the person when you report the crime, others don't know how to help you, how to arrest people, and you can only do nothing in the end.

  For these reasons, Huang Hongbo did not attack the external link in the first time, and he did not have the ability to attack.

  So I just let it exist all the time.

  Who knows that it is profitable to be a plug-in, and it will become more and more serious.

   Just one month before the copy link appeared on the Three Kingdoms online, that is, in February, there was already a copy link in the Stone Age.

  In December last year, an auxiliary plug-in called swt appeared in the Stone Age.

  Later, a plug-in made by reko3 appeared in January, and an acceleration function appeared in this plug-in.

  And now it even has the copy function.

The most mainstream plug-ins are SAT and Wanyu. SAT is a game made by lovers of the Stone Age. The author is called Walk in the Rain, but he is just doing it for convenience. The original good intention is to provide convenience to players and make boring games change. It has to be fun, so there has been no charge.

  Because of its limited strength, and walking in the rain did not rely on this profit, it was gradually defeated by another man named Wanyu.

  The team of Wanyu made the plug-in very efficient, and opened the charging function, the cost is 28 yuan a month.

  Relying on the game of Stone Age, the plug-in team is making a lot of money.

  Inflation in the Stone Age is already quite serious now, but the boss of Huayi is helpless and can only turn one eye and close one eye.

   Now that there is a problem with the Three Kingdoms online, Huang Hongbo's face only has a little color.

  ……

  Not only was the boss of Huayi Company gloating, but Shanda’s Qiao Tianchen couldn’t hide his joy when he heard the news.

  The so-called peers are enemies. As long as the opponent has trouble, it is beneficial to me.

  On Shanda, it has been more than half a year since the legend went online, and it has been in a state of dying, saying that it is not profitable, but it can bring millions of income to the company every month.

  But if you want to talk about profit, after deducting the cost, the remaining profit is quite thin.

  The main reason is that there is a stumbling block in the Three Kingdoms online.

  To a large extent, the players and graphics of the Three Kingdoms online and the smoothness of the game are all overwhelming the grand legend, so the number of players in the legend has not been able to snowball with the effect of word of mouth.

   can barely maintain a steady growth, but the growth rate is very slow.

  Up to now, the total number of Shanda's legendary players is less than 200,000, and the number of online players is not even 10,000.

  So the city-capture battle that I originally wanted to play can't be played in large-scale team battles.

  Now the legend has become very Buddha-nature, the most important reason why many players choose to play the legend is——

   "Playing Three Kingdoms online is really too exciting, I will play Legend for a while when I'm tired."

  The gameplay of this game has many similarities with the Three Kingdoms online, so it naturally becomes the drain of the Three Kingdoms online.

  Players come to the legend to relax when they are tired, and then return to the Three Kingdoms online when they are tired of playing.

  So many times, online players' comments will make Qiao Tianchen half angry.

  They said that "Legend of Blood" is a spare tire for "Three Kingdoms Online".

   has always been as arrogant as Qiao Tianchen, it is tolerable or unbearable.

  But if he can’t bear it, he can’t do anything. You can’t physically use the network cable of Pabomi, right?

  Moreover, it is unrealistic to unplug the network cable. People's servers are scattered all over the country, and it will be exhausting to get this out.

  Now finally there is an exciting good news——

   "Three Kingdoms online is out of the plug-in, and the plug-in is still very serious."

  Copy link is already a very serious plug-in. It directly affects the balance of the game and causes players to resent.

  If you let it ferment, the game will collapse soon.

  ……

  However, soon, there was news from the Three Kingdoms online side.

"The official of the Three Kingdoms online just issued an announcement that the plug-in has been banned, and the players who use the plug-in have been banned. In the official announcement, it is said that Bomi will be held accountable. It must be investigated to the end and the criminals will be wiped out. It is said that the official attitude is very firm, saying that it is zero tolerance for foreigners."

  Hua Yi’s operations manager said.

"Eh?!"

  Hua Yi's boss was directly dumbfounded.

  This Nima, didn’t you say that 5 minutes ago?

   "Thanks to your mother... Is Bomi's movements so fast? He reacted so quickly in only 4 hours?"

  Huang Hongbo couldn't believe what he heard.

  Opened the computer and checked it on the Internet, and found that it was really the case.

  【Fuck, Bomi beef appetizer! Actually, the plug-in can be processed in just 4 hours, and so many accounts have been blocked. 】

  【Yes, yes, the official has a very attitude and deserves praise. 】

  [We need such a game manufacturer, everything is for the interests of the players, Bomi is really good, completely different from a certain era next door. 】

  【Hey, don't talk about it, can I still play the Stone Age without a plug-in? 】

   [Yes, this group of garbage agents in Stone Age joined them if they couldn't deal with the plug-in. They were in the same situation with the high plug-in and Dajin studio, only knowing to bully our manual parties. 】

   [That is, are you still playing the Stone Age? Isn't the Three Kingdoms online better than the Stone Age? 】

[Yeah, I didn’t know what to do. I thought the crows in the world were black. When the Three Kingdoms online copy appeared this morning, I was still thinking, when it’s over, the last piece of pure land in the online game is lost. played.

  I didn’t expect Bomi official to have such an attitude, the action was swift and violent, it was a thunder attack, directly turned the plug-in, and blocked the plug-in account. I think who dares to use the plug-in after this time? 】

  [Yes, it’s a small thing to use a plug-in, and the account is blocked is big, those players who bought a plug-in are expected to cry in the toilet]

  【Hahahaha...that is, deserve it, who told them to buy a plug-in? 】

  ……

  This Nima...

  Huang Hongbo looked silly directly.

  What is this operation?

  You can close your account in 4 hours, make precise strikes, and issue announcements to appease players.

  Bomi’s response and public relations are simply amazing!

  The comments on the Internet were filled with outrage from the very beginning, to go to Bomi to protect the interests of the players... and then became the official praise of Bomi who has attitude, responsibility, technology and strength...

  It is a 180-degree change.

  The most important thing is that it also pulled the Stone Age into the water, and Huayi Company was scolded by players.

  Comparing the two, I don’t know how many players will be lost in the Stone Age today.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Huang Hongbo received the data:

  "Boss, it’s not good. Today, the number of online players has lost a lot, which is at least 5 percentage points less than yesterday."

   "I... fuck!"

  Huang Hongbo can't wait to throw the keyboard.

  ……

  On the other side, Shanda’s Qiao Tianchen reacted in the same way.

   "What's so special... Isn't this premeditated?"

  Qiao Tianchen couldn't believe Bomi's operation in his heart.

  "Bomi wrote the plug-in himself? Otherwise, how could it be possible to respond so quickly, deal with it so quickly and properly?"

  ……

   can only be said to be prepared.

  In his previous life, Cao Yang was pitted by a plug-in, and he has also worked in major game companies. He has dealt with various operational crises, large and small, and plug-ins are just one of them.

  When he was working as a peace elite in Penguin, that plug-in appeared endlessly, and new plug-ins were born almost every day.

  However, the speed and response of the relevant security departments are also very quick. Accounts are banned, and external plug-ins are targeted...

  These are all commonplace.

  For shooting games like Peace Elite, because of the high requirements for ballistics and immediacy, it is impossible to run the logic on the server side, so it can only be placed on the client side.

  It is inevitable that there must be plug-ins for the games that the client runs and detects.

  Because of the struggle with plug-ins for more than 20 years in the previous life, Cao Yang was able to make judgments and preparations in advance this time, and Liu Guangran was able to respond in such a short period of time.

so--

  Ginger is old and spicy.

  Success is for those who are prepared.

  It is not easy to kill people if safety measures are taken...

  ……

   "Boss, you are really too wise." Liu Guangran gave Cao Yang a thumbs up, "If we hadn't prepared it long ago, this wave must have been caught off guard. I don't know what to do."

  Cao Yang smiled.

  That is inevitable.

  Otherwise, Laozi’s decades of experience in game development are just a joke?

  If you can't do this small operational response, wouldn't it be a waste of two lives?

  "This is called strategizing, and," Cao Yang smiled, "You are also here, so it didn't cause much loss. Of course, your programming ability is simply full marks!"

   "Hey." Liu Guangran touched Guangjie's forehead a little shyly.

   "And, do you know what we have done the most impressive thing?" Cao Yang asked.

"what?"

   "Our economic system and payment method successfully turned this public relations into a breeze."

Yes.

  This time reflects the advanced nature of the economic system of the Three Kingdoms online.

  Even if there is a plug-in behavior, because there is no trading system, the currency and props in the game are not circulated, so the loss caused is very small.

for example:

  In the Stone Age, if the most cherished pet is called the Shadow Wolf, and the pet itself is officially sold, it costs 100 yuan as a soft sister coin.

  Now there is a duplication hang in the game suddenly. As a result, the entire server may have only 5 shadow wolves, but now it has suddenly become 500, so the official 100 yuan pet is worthless.

  And players can buy and sell these pets and props to circulate, which will cause a lot of inflation, and the official reputation will be severely destroyed.

However, the Three Kingdoms online cannot be traded, and the items on each player are tagged and bound. For example, the white tiger suit that was copied this time was tagged by the program in advance and bound to the player, so even if it dropped It cannot be picked up by other players.

  In this way, the economic system of the entire game is very stable.

  Bomi only needs to eliminate the players who violate the rules.

  As for whether those players have complaints, there must be some.

  But it will not have as much impact in the future, because the Three Kingdoms online is a card game, and players spend money to buy time, not to buy props.

  At present, Cao Yang has not yet opened up item charges, so it is relatively fair for players.

  Since it is just spending money to buy time, even if the account is blocked, there will not be much loss. At least compared to the future players with hundreds of thousands of gold, it is no shame that this kind of player account is blocked.

   "So, what shall we do next?" Liu Guangran asked.

  Now it is a temporary solution, and account closure is only for a while. The production of plug-ins is still going on. In the future, facing various plug-in attacks should become the norm.

  ……
